When I got sick, I thought it was malaria or typhoid. I was very weak and went to local health centres for treatment. But none of them could help me because they didn’t have the right tests. A friend of the family suggested going to this health centre, as they run more types of tests than the clinics in my neighbourhood. It turned out I was infected with TB. I’m not sure if I would have survived if I wouldn’t have come to this clinic.
“Most people think TB cannot be cured and you will die when infected”
After two weeks of medication, I felt much better. The health centre didn’t only treat me, they also told me to eat and sleep well, and made me realise that the disease would go away once I finished my medication. Most people think TB cannot be cured and you will die when infected. Understanding that I would be cured, made me feel so happy and at peace.
